Domineering husband

Chapter 132 Li Xia Gets Married, Sanliu Village Comes Full of Trivia

After the Seventh Prince, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince went south one after another, the public opinion in the capital about the heavy rain subsided a lot.

The days of Shengjing people have passed.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu naturally did the same. With the arrival of summer, the hot drinks in the duck store were replaced by ice drinks, and the rest remained the same.

Whether it is duck products or dim sum, the business is still booming regardless of the season.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu are already used to this kind of popularity. Almost every day, people will urge them to expand their stores and supply more.

Especially at the duck shop, even Li Qiao's colleagues would come to him, saying that the business at the duck shop was so good that his family couldn't buy it, and wanted Li Qiao to stock up on more.

To this situation, Li Qiao had only one answer: he tried his best.

But in fact, since Tao Zhu was pregnant, he has never been in charge of the shop, and he and Tao Zhu are not short of money, so why bother to buy staff?

But now, after this flood, Tao Zhu wants to expand the store and increase the manpower.

"I originally thought that we had so much money that we could never spend it all in this lifetime, but who knew that we donated 220,000 taels of silver in this flood, which was 30% of our savings, but it was a drop in the bucket and shared equally For the victims, each person can only get 220 Wen, what can you do with this money? If you buy sweet potatoes, you can only buy 110 catties." "

Those destroyed crops, those houses that need to be rebuilt, How can I rely on this little money?"

In the evening, sitting under the candle, Tao Zhu looked through this month's account book, looking at the profit on it, and couldn't help frowning.

Too little.

In fact, he and Li Qiao are not considered rich.

Li Qiao sat beside Tao Zhu, holding a big cattail fan in his hand, fanning the two of them together.

Hearing Tao Zhu's words, Li Qiao said: "For natural disasters of this level, only relying on donations from the people is really useless. The disaster relief mainly depends on the allocation of food by the imperial court.

" ?" Tao Zhu turned to look at him, his face full of curiosity.

"Rough calculations, based on the head count, if one person distributes fifty catties of grain, then one million people is worth fifty million catties of grain. In terms of money, purchasing seeds, bricks, farm tools, etc. will cost more than one hundred Ten thousand taels."

"This is the most basic disaster relief. If you want to give more to the people, then you have to double the food and money."

Of course, in the actual process, it will definitely be given to each family according to the specific situation of the damage. And compensation, but on average, it is almost this number.

The annual tax that finally flows into the Shengjing treasury is less than 30 million taels a year, and this time the flood will cost almost one-tenth of it. The son asked for a way to fill the treasury.

It is impossible to support such a large country without money.

"Then our family is really poor..."

Tao Zhu looked down at the numbers on the ledger.

This time, he donated 220,000 taels. If he wants to become a real millionaire Li, he will have to wait until next year.

"Let's buy more people. There are indeed too few people in the duck store now, and it's not as good as that in Sanliu Village."

He looked at Li Qiao, his face full of determination to make money.

"It's definitely not as good as Sanliu Village. In Sanliu Village, we all respond to everyone. In Shengjing, we don't count as anything."

"If you buy more people, you will be very tired."

Li Qiao reminded him.

"If you're tired, you'll be tired. Anyway, you'll be tired for a month or two. It'll be fine when the newcomer you bought becomes sensible."

Tao Zhu didn't care about being tired.

To put it bluntly, if there is another natural disaster somewhere in Dasheng in the future, he will definitely donate money.

The speed at which he earns money must keep up with the speed at which he donates money.

Tao Zhu made up his mind, Li Qiao would not stop him, the family really didn't have many people and needed to buy more.

While Tao Zhu was busy picking people, on the other side, the Royal Toys Store opened.

The appearance of the scooter made Sheng Hong finally satisfied.

The market for baby feeding chairs and baby walkers is too small to open a store, but scooters are a fun little thing that can be enjoyed by both adults and children.

Just relying on this little thing is enough to support a store.

On the first day of the Royal Toy Store's opening, the 500 scooters that Sheng Hong asked the Ministry of Industry to prepare were sold out in one morning.

A scooter is five taels of silver, which is not cheap, but who makes this thing interesting.

Sheng Hong first advertised at the Royal Dim Sum Shop for five days. On the opening day of the toy store, he even let people play with scooters in front of the store.

This is the best advertisement. People in Dasheng have never seen such small things. Some of them are not bad for money, and they can buy three or five at a time.

So, when the Han family caravan returned to Shengjing, the Li Gu family who came with them were very surprised to see those people riding scooters on the street.

It looks so interesting.

As expected of Shengjing!

Li Dong grabbed the door of the carriage and looked at Li Chunsheng in the carriage anxiously: "Father, can I buy that thing with my salary?" "It must be very

expensive." Li Chunsheng frowned.

"I bought it with my wages." Li Dong emphasized.

"You're about to get married, you're not a kid anymore, you save your wages and save them to buy houses and fields, which one is not more practical than that gadget?" "Besides,

your brother is getting married too. Houses in Shengjing are expensive, so he got married After that, I still have to live in your uncle's house. Your uncle won't kick him out, but after all, you will have to buy a house in Shengjing after all. If you have too much money and nowhere to spend it, I will save it for your brother to buy a house. "

Mentioning Li Xia's choice of Zhao Shen, Li Chunsheng frowned so much that he could almost kill a fly.

Why did I choose a man who has nothing, I am so worried about him.

Listening to the series of accusations from his own father, Li Dong stuck out his tongue and remained silent.

He continued to turn his head to look at the shops on both sides of the street.

After watching for a while, he couldn't help scratching his head.

The shops on both sides look really expensive.

His elder brother picked a poor man, if he wanted to buy a house, he should indeed sponsor some money...

Along with the Han family caravan came to Shengjing, besides Li Gu's family, Li Liang was also there.

Li Liang learned that Tao Zhu was pregnant during Chinese New Year last year, and this time Li Xia was going to get married, so he also came over. Xiao Qiao is having a baby, great joy!

After the Han family caravan entered the city, they sent the Li family directly to Li Qiao's house.

It was just after noon, Li Qiao was still in the Imperial Academy, and Tao Zhu was the only one at home.

When relatives meet each other, they are naturally tearful.

The arrival of Li Gu, Zhou Jingui, Li Chunsheng, Li Dong and his close relatives made Li Xia cry and laugh at the same time.

In fact, it's only been a year, but Shengjing and Sanliu Village are so far away that this year seems to be as long as three years.

Tao Zhu gave the main courtyard to their family so that they could have some heart-to-heart conversations, and he took the two cubs to the front courtyard.

Li Dashan and Zheng Qianqian live in the front yard, Li Dashan is busy in the shop at the moment, only Zheng Qianqian and Li Xiaorui are there.

Li Liang didn't see his eldest grandson for a year, and he was very happy to see Li Xiaorui.

Seeing Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan's two chubby friends, they danced with joy and kept praising Tao Zhu for raising them well.

"Your sister-in-law also wanted to come, but my second uncle and I both came. The fields at home cannot be separated from people, so your sister-in-law did not come." "Your

third sister also wants to come, but the family cannot do without people. Dim sum The shop is a trivial matter, but for such a big imperial pen and plaque, someone at home has to watch over it."

"Chuntao was born, a big fat boy, Tian Sheng is so happy, he hugged it all day long, and he didn't even bother to read the book "

...

Li Liang happily talked about the current situation of the people in Sanliu Village.

All good, all very good.

Soon it was time for Li Qiao to be on duty, and Li Dashan came back driving the ox cart.

Tao Zhu took the two cubs with him to pick Li Qiao home with Li Liang.

When he was on duty, the excitement at the gate of the inner city was far less than that in the morning, but for a country bumpkin like Li Liang, the scene was big enough. How about so many high-ranking officials in official uniforms? Together, I haven't seen many people at this moment!

If it wasn't for Li Dashan sitting next to him, he would have jumped under the ox cart in fright.

High officials, all high officials!

Soon, he saw Li Qiao walking slowly along the crowd.

Li Qiao was wearing a scarlet official uniform, with a straight back and steady steps. The sun fell on him, covering him with a dazzling halo.

Summer's thin and baggy official uniform can't conceal his outstanding talent. He is outstanding and young among a group of officials wearing various official uniforms, which is very eye-catching.

Seeing Li Qiao, Li Liang grinned at first, but tears flowed out of his eyes as he laughed.

Woohoo, even if his little buckwheat is mixed with a group of court officials, it is still the focus, Guangzong Yaozu wow!

At this moment, even if he died, it was worth it.

After he returns to the village, he will play for the rest of his life!

Li Qiao was also very happy to see Li Liang, and couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Liang crying with snot and tears.

"Brother, why don't you come and send me up and down in the future?"

"Huh?" Li Liang was taken aback when he heard the words, and when he recovered, he immediately patted his thigh and agreed: "Okay!

" He has a majestic appearance, he should take a look at it!

When I got home, the noodles from Baiweilou had already been delivered, and the family who hadn't seen each other for a year had a lively dinner.

Afraid that Li Gu's group would not be used to living in the new house and was afraid, Li Qiao temporarily placed them in the yard where he was currently living, so they could be accommodated anyway.

The next day, Li Qiao asked for leave.

His daily task is still to read books. Since Sheng Hong called him into the palace last time to ask which prince to send to relieve the disaster, Sheng Hong never called him into the palace again.

Anyway, if you are free, it is better to ask for leave, so that you can take your family for a stroll in the capital.

It's rare to come to the capital once, so you must have a good time.

After playing around, Li Dong realized that the interesting gadget he saw when he entered Beijing was actually made by his uncle.

Now he was happy.

He can play without paying for it.

His money should be used to sponsor his brother to buy a house first, the house price in Shengjing is so expensive!

After playing for a day, Li Gu and others didn't want to play anymore, they wanted to meet Zhao Shen.

This trip to Beijing is mainly for Li Xia and Zhao Shen's marriage. This marriage should be completed early so that they can have fun.

This Zhao Shen was chosen by Li Xia himself, even if they were not satisfied, they could only accept it.

After seeing Zhao Shen, the dissatisfaction of Li Gu's family dissipated a little. Although they were younger than Li Xia, they looked quite stable.

That being the case, then hurry up and get married.

After getting married, Li Xia would not leave Li's house, and Zhao Shen had better stay in Li's house.

Of course, this is not entrapment.

It's just that Zhao Shen's cleverness made them a little uneasy, moreover, Zhao Shen was not an ordinary commoner, he was Master Zhao's distant nephew, in order to prevent Li Xia from being wronged, they hoped that Zhao Shen could stay in Li's house.

With Li Qiao watching in person, Zhao Shen would not dare to disappoint Li Xia.

Zhao Shen also had this intention.

He was just an errand runner in Zhao's residence, but Li Xia was Li Qiao's cousin, so he would definitely be more important if he stayed in Li's house than staying in Zhao's house.

Therefore, Li Qiao went to the Zhao residence to visit Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao let him go without hesitation, his Zhao family does not lack a Zhao Shen.

In mid-July, Li Xia and Zhao Shen got married.

The marriage was not a big deal, but a banquet was held in the house, and the Zhuang family, the Meng family, Xu Ying, Shen Hua and other relatives and friends were entertained.

After getting married, Li Gu's family stayed with Li Liang for another week, and then reluctantly left.

Going back at this time can catch up with the tail of the autumn harvest and winter plowing.

There are thousands of acres of land in the family, and Wang Guihua alone can't keep busy, so they have to go back.

This time I came to Shengjing and saw the prosperity of Dasheng capital, it was worth it!

After the Li family left, the life of Li Qiao's family returned to tranquility.

The weather is much cooler, and you need to cover yourself with a thin quilt when you sleep at night. On this day, after Li Qiao was off duty, he and Tao Zhu went to the new house.

It's not long before the cold weather, so we have to transform the greenhouse quickly to survive the winter.

In this greenhouse, Li Qiao not only designed floor heating, but also specially wrapped a layer of heating channels on the outer wall.

Just like a kang, when a fire is ignited in the stove, not only the floor of the room is hot, but the surrounding walls are also hot.

This is a real conservatory.

However, for his idea to be truly implemented, he needs to constantly explore, after all, no one has done this before.

It was already August 15th when the conservatory was remodeled.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, which coincides with Xiumu this year, at noon, Li Qiao invited a group of relatives and friends to come for a drink.

This drink is still rice wine.

The big guys get together more to taste food.

The two cubs are almost six months old, they can eat some supplementary food, and they have grown a lot. When sitting in Tao Zhu's arms, they are no longer as small as before.

The two little guys are white, with big eyes, and chubby cheeks. When they eat, they take big mouthfuls of sweetness, and they look very cute.

Shen Hua's eyes were still hot.

Why is he not pregnant yet!

When Tao Zhu comforted Shen Hua, on the other side, the eldest brother of the Meng family said to Li Qiao with a sad face, "Xiao Li, you guys should try to persuade Xiaoyue, she's grown up, but she never talked about getting married. His sister-in-law is going to die of worry."

As soon as these words came out, Meng Yue, who was sipping rice wine happily, almost choked on the rice wine in her mouth.

Li Qiao looked at Meng Yue with a smile, and then asked the eldest brother of the Meng family: "I think brother Meng is in a good mood recently, did something good happen?"

Before Li Xia got married, Meng Yue was very happy at the banquet, she was no longer as distracted as before, and it is the same today.

What good thing did this meet?

"There's nothing good about it, but for some reason, he's feeling better. Hmm... probably at the end of June, he's suddenly the same as before." The eldest

brother of the Meng family recalled it, and told Li Qiao truthfully.

"Cough cough..." Meng Yue coughed a few times, wiped the drink on his chin with his sleeve, and looked at his elder brother helplessly: "Brother, I have already said, this is not urgent, let's pay back first." Let's talk about the marriage after the debt is settled."

After finally looking forward to the cold-faced Hades leaving the capital, he can be happy, so why did he suddenly mention his marriage again.

Marriage, how dare he get married now.

Sleeping with a man, or the Hades who almost killed him, even if you lend him ten guts, he wouldn't dare to get married quietly.

"Come, come, drink and drink."

He held up the wine bowl, beckoning people to continue drinking, so as to fool this matter.

Calculated, there should be some time before that person returns to Beijing, he has to be happy quickly, otherwise when that person returns, he will be tortured physically and mentally again.

Li Qiao naturally noticed Meng Yue's strangeness.

However, if Meng Yue didn't say anything, he really didn't know what Meng Yue was hiding.

Li Dao and the others took the opportunity to exercise and ran to Meng's house for a few months, but they didn't find anything unusual.

Xin Zhi didn't find anything there.

Forget it, I think Meng Yue can solve it by herself.

At the end of September, the Seventh Prince returned to Beijing together with the Third and Fifth Princes.

On the second day after returning to Beijing, Sheng Hong lost his temper. It is said that he threw the teacup all over the floor, but outsiders don't know what he said.

The author has something to say:

Hey, the calculation in the last chapter was wrong, two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver was divided equally among millions of disaster victims, one person can get two hundred and twenty coins...
